Hollow Bones

2001 年 9 月 11 日，當莫莉・菲茨傑拉德（Molly Fitzgerald）剛滿兩個月大時，她的母親前往世界貿易中心看診，卻再也沒有回家。雖然繼母給予她無微不至的愛與照顧，但她從小依然對災難抱有一種理所當然的恐懼。
如今已成年的莫莉，主持羅德島州緊急預備與應變部門——隨時準備應對災難，並在災難發生時減輕損害。她與在普羅維登斯警局擔任測謊專家的丈夫傑西（Jesse）正在迎來他們的頭胎，在興奮之餘，也深深懂得這個世界有多麼危險。然而，一次意料之外的遭遇打破了他們的平靜生活，迫使莫莉開始質疑自己曾以為知道的一切、自己究竟是誰，以及是否有些災難比其他災難更具毀滅性。
穿梭於當代美國與 2001 年動盪不安的國家之間，《Hollow Bones》聚焦於父母與子女之間的關係、旨在保護我們的體系所發生的驚人失靈，以及我們在撰寫自己人生敘事時對自己說的謊言。
On September 11, 2001, when Molly Fitzgerald was two months old, her mother went to a doctor’s appointment at the World Trade Center and never came home. Her stepmother couldn't have loved her more or cared for her better, but she still grew up with a healthy dread of disasters.

Now an adult, she runs the Rhode Island Department for Emergency Preparedness and Response—readying for disasters and trying to mitigate damage when they occur. She and her husband Jesse—a polygraph expert for the Providence police—are navigating their first pregnancy, juggling their excitement with the knowledge of how dangerous the world can be. But then an unexpected encounter upends their life, leading Molly to question everything she thought she knew, who she truly is, and whether some disasters are more devastating than others.

Moving between present day America and a country reeling in 2001, Hollow Bones spotlights the relationships between parents and children, the shocking failures of the systems designed to protect us, and the lies we tell ourselves as we write the narratives of our lives.
